<h3 class="docSection1Title">13.8. Summary</h3>
<p class="docText">Daemon processes are running all the time on most UNIX systems. Initializing our own process to run as a daemon takes some care and an understanding of the process relationships that we described in <a class="docLink" href="ch09.html#ch09">Chapter 9</a>. In this chapter, we developed a function that can be called by a daemon process to initialize itself correctly.</P>
<p class="docText">We also discussed the ways a daemon can log error messages, since a daemon normally doesn't have a controlling terminal. We discussed several conventions that daemons follow on most UNIX systems and showed examples of how to implement some of these conventions.</P>
